 Five Aces $9.98 After the guys start sharing their bad experiences with wives and girlfriends, you start to feel for them. Yet you know the plot has to have some resolution. You know their bachelor party weekend has to end so Charlie Sheen can attend his wedding. I won't spoil anything, but I must say the heartfelt resolution of the plot tugs at your heartstrings. Women also will find the film very erotic. Who needs nudity ? I found the guys to be very sexy wearing their suits and ties. Fair - haired David Sherrill, who plays the part of the divorced Ray Vanowen, looks especially good in his suit and tie. I also like his acting. He convinced me that Ray's decision to live in an isolated trailer home was understandable. If you live near Big Bear Lake or Lake Arrowhead, you'll be struck by the breathtaking location cinematography of that part of California. The mountainous scenery was mostly destroyed by fire several years later. Please rent this movie. If you're a casting agent, please cast David Sherrill in something. Maybe Charlie Sheen can put him on an episode of Two And A Half Men.  Romantic Comedy Collection (Must Love Dogs / Rumor Has It.... / The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) $23.98 WARNER HOME VIDEO's ROMANTIC COMEDY COLLECTION is a triple-feature done almost right: each movie gets its own disc and quality of transfers is excellent. Note that these are not in widescreen format, however. SYNOPSES-- MUST LOVE DOGS-- Being listed at an internet dating service by her nosy sister provides a recently-divorced pre-school teacher with some unusual blind dates. RUMOR HAS IT...-- Could it be true? Were Sarah's mom and grandma two sides of the love triangle depicted in the book and movie "The Graduate"? Sarah travels to San Francisco in search of the triangle's hypotenuse, that is, the real-life Benjamin Braddock. Rob Reiner film includes archive footage of Mike Nichols' 1968 Hoffman/Bancroft blockbuster. THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS-- Four close friends stay in touch over their first summer apart by sharing their individual adventures, along with a special pair of jeans that fits them all perfectly. (Ernie Lively, Blake's dad, plays her character's father in the film.) PERFECT DATE MOVIES, Vol. 1 (from FOX) is a nicely-priced 4-pack of romantically themed films.
